Bhut Jolokia Chilli Seeds (20 seeds)
World’s Hottest Chilli.
These plants need 6 months of tropical temperatures to fruit so you should only plant them in spring unless you have hydroponic equipment and artificial light.
The Bhut Jolokia (A.K.A. Naga Jolokia) was officially measured at over one million Scoville Heat Units (SHU) in 2006. For the test report from the Chile Pepper Institute, click here.
Being three times hotter than an Orange Habanero, our suggestion for cooking with these chillies is to use a small amount, very finely ground (dry or rehydrated and reduced to a paste). As a rough guide, try ? of a pod per person for a hot dish.
These are the most difficult chilli to grow due to erratic germination times and length of growing season. They need patience and warm conditions from March through to October to ensure a good crop. Try pre-soaking in diluted Chilli Focus liquid plant feed over night – we’ve found this reduces the germination time by 50% to about 10days.
Heat rating: 10!/10
Average contents 20 seeds.
Note – Image shown is a dried Bhut Jolokia sitting on a light-box. Fresh fruits are a dazzling red – see the image on the product detail page.
